"Should I leave the barn, Harry?" Harry: "Baba, aren't you capable of making up your mind yourself?" "Ben, what do you suggest?" "Either way you wish," Ben replied. Harold Rudd rose and told a funny story. Ivy Duce asked if she could display the chart. No, said Baba. One or two others who wanted to ask questions are put down by Baba. Mrs. Kashouty rose and offered Baba an alligator "crown" from the women. Baba called over Harry Florsheim and made him put it on. The string broke and snapped and Baba laughed. Michael Loftus told a joke. Baba asked Don and Ivy if they recalled in "God Speaks" where God is compared to the sun and other planes to earth, air. Neither did! Baba chuckled and said, "Isn't it remarkable that Ivy and Don, who had so much to do with the book, cannot remember?" He then asked Charles Purdom. Charles did recall it.

Baba said, "Let us just take as an example that the sun is God. The sun is not God. it is gas. Let us say, it is God: infinite power, infinite bliss, infinite knowledge. It is all there in the sun. Those on the mental sphere are near the sun and they directly receive the rays of the sun. Those in the subtle world are a bit further off. The rays of knowledge and bliss are filtered through the mental sphere and only the residue is received by those in the subtle sphere. The gross world is very far off. It is so thick, so crude. Only the last traces of infinite bliss and knowledge come through to the gross world. The saints in the subtle plane receive less of my rays. Those on the gross plane receive just a trace of my infinite power, bliss and knowledge. In the mental plane rays of infinite knowledge are received directly and those on this plane know the minds and thoughts of everyone. The rays of infinite knowledge when they strike on the mental plane are received directly by the saints, walis . The knowledge is now converted into knowing the thoughts of gross and subtle minds. In the sun, infinite knowledge knows everything as God. In the mental plane, rays of that infinite knowledge make known the minds of all. When they percolate to the subtle, those on the subtle planes know the mind of those who are associated with them. The same infinite knowledge from the sun, coming through the mental, subtle, and striking the gross, gives mind, intelligence, the power of reason, logic and all that is associated with the mind. So this gross human mind which is so powerful and able to think and act, to invent so many things, that is able to imagine anything—is really nothing but a trickle of that infinite knowledge of the sun.
